Investors are expected to be guided through investment performance measurement and analysis in order safeguard against potential loss of returns or the capital invested. Whereas residential real estate (RRE) constitutes a significant part portfolios individual institutional investors across globe, assessment risk-return RRE Nigeria generally has not been well researched.

The newly developed open-source Hydrological Pixel model, HyPix, written in the fast and flexible Julia language, efficiently solves mixed form of Richardson–Richards’ equation (RRE). HyPix uses a cell-centred, finite-volume scheme for spatial discretization, with an implicit Euler temporal by using weighted average inter-cell hydraulic conductivity. includes following modules: (a) rainfall int...

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) genome is AU rich, and this imparts a codon bias that is quite different from the one used by human genes. The codon usage is particularly marked for the gag, pol, and env genes. Interestingly, the expression of these genes is dependent on the presence of the Rev/Rev-responsive element (RRE) regulatory system, even in contexts other than the HIV genome. Th...

The HIV-1 Rev protein is an essential nuclear regulatory viral protein. Rev mutants that are able to block wild-type (WT) Rev activity in trans have been reported and used in antiviral approaches. Not only nuclear but also cytoplasmic Rev mutants were described and suspected to be transdominant by retaining WT Rev in the cytoplasm. To investigate their potential for cytoplasmic retention, we st...

Resistive static contraction facilitation technique applied by manual resistance using a proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation patternin the mid-range pelvic posterior depression technique(RSCPDT) or anterior elevation technique (RSCAET) with the subject on the affected side produces greater increase in range of motion of remote parts.However, few studies have providedevidences for neurophy...

Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems are attracting attention as next-generation mobile communication systems. Such systems have come to transfer and manage large volumes of data at high speed. Therefore, base stations have urgent requirements for devices that are friendlier to the environment, easier to install and cheaper to run. Further, there are needs to reduce size and power consumption. Thi...

5'-mRNA capping is an early modification that affects pre-mRNA synthesis/splicing, RNA cytoplasmic transport, and mRNA translation and turnover. In eukaryotes, a 7-methylguanosine (m7G) cap is added to newly transcribed RNA polymerase II (RNAP II) transcripts. A subset of RNAP II-transcribed cellular RNAs, including small nuclear RNA (snRNA), small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA), and telomerase RNA, is...
